Hi Donna, I do want this trip but haven't decided on the date yet. But I will be looking for a roommate. Where are you coming from? Have you been on other RoadScholar trips? What are you looking forward to on this this trip?

Hi Donna, I do want this trip but haven't decided on the date yet. But I will be looking for a roommate. Where are you coming from? Have you been on other RoadScholar trips? What are you looking forward to on this this trip?

Coming from Alabama. been on 2 other trips, California Medley and Florida Coral Reef Snorkeling. Love nature and trying to visit all Natioonal Parks. know some other ladies going on this trip. I am very energetic 68 year old and have enjoyed other trips. They are at my pace, very informative and see great things. Let me know what you decide

Hi Donna - I've just enrolled for the Aug 14 trip. I'm also 68, retired for 2 years and have been on 3 trips. Also enjoy nature - especially bird watching and all 3 trips have included National Parks (Zion, Bryce, Death Valley, N. rim of Grand Canyon & Mt. Rainier.) All great trips. I'm coming from California so only 1 hr flight. Wanted to hear back from you before I put you down as roommate.

Thanks Mary Ann and I look forward to meeting you and Jody. As it turns out, I decided to fly into Portland on Sept 18. So if anyone will be coming in a day early, and you'd like to meet up, please let me know. --Michelle

My friend Jody and I will arrive on Sept. 19 early afternoon, so we won't be there to join you in the morning Michelle. We come from Kansas. Looking forward to the trip. A little concerned about the fires, but I assume the leaders will let us know of any changes or problems.

I am leaving on Friday 8-8 from. ORD Chicago. Just went to the fire OR. Forestry web sites but I know nothing about the state of OR I haven't a clue where the fires are. I hope we can get some information from Roads Scholars

I received this response from my request. We are closely monitoring wildfire activity along this program’s route. We watch for road closures and evacuation notices, and we have an alternate route planned. Our office stays ahead of the program and communicates with group leaders to update them when the program is underway.

(I was on this trip last year.) Maybe in the SW corner of the state. These seem authoritative webpages to follow: (1) (map) http://www.nwccweb.us/information/firemap.aspx and (2) (text) http://wildfireoregondeptofforestry.blogspot.com/
